Bihari Kebab: Gaya's Melting Skewer Specialty Explained

Bihari Kebab: Gaya's Melting Skewer Specialty Explained

Bihari Kebab is a famous kebab variety originating from the Muslim culinary traditions of Gaya and Patna. The kebab is made by marinating thin strips of mutton or goat meat in raw papaya paste, yogurt, mustard oil, and spices, then charcoal-grilling them on flat iron skewers.

1. Papaya Tenderizing Secrets

The secret to Bihari Kebab's melting texture is the raw papaya paste marination, which acts as a natural meat tenderizer, breaking down meat fibers over several hours. The mustard oil adds a sharp pungency.

2. Serving Style

The skewered meat is grilled over live coals until charred on the outside while remaining tender inside. We explain the spice blend and the best shops near Gaya and Patna.
